lucky! superchips flash cal doesn't support the 2017 6.4 yet and looks like the rest of us missed out on the pro cal debacle. Prolly see your shift points adjust slightly for the better. Your winning!

I have been looking everywhere for the Ram ProCal module. The only way I can find it is if you purchase the AEV lift. Did you purchase it by itself, if so where did you find it?
Awesome to see someone actually using the PW how it should!

I'd I may ask @mikekey, how many miles do you have on your truck now and have you had any issues with the front end components or the infamous death wobble? I'm looking at trading my 5th gen 4runner for a powerwagon but I'm nervous about the reliability.

The death wobble was prior to the 2010 trucks.....and you could retrofit some parts to the newer steering on the 06 to 09 trucks...
I've owned a 2010, 2013, and 2015 with zero issues...the 2010 diesel had a 2in level kit aND 35 tires..and the 13 PW had a 1in spacer with 35 tires...my 15 ram diesel has 35 with no lift

That's good to hear. I've read a few threads over on PW registry about folks with 14+ PWs and having issues with death wobble with trucks with less than 10k on them.

Beyond adequate. I had the 5.7l Hemi previously. It always felt like it was working over time to keep up. The PW's 6.4L just does the work. It might not have the power of a diesel in terms of torque. But it never feels like it's struggling, like the smaller engine did. It's more than enough power to pull our Airstream up inclines while maintaining speed.
I do not run premium. I only run mid-grade in the truck, becuase that's the recommendation.

Few updates.
Been slow on updates. Still waiting on my bumper, which is suppose to ship by this Friday. Def behind on the 3-week lead time.
Picked up a AEV Raised Air intake and Dodge Offroad steering brace and planning on rotating my tires and doing brakes this weekend. All in prep for our Moab trip at the end of the month >> PowerWagonsInMoab.com

In preparation for our trip to Moab, I've been catching up on some things for the truck. My RamBoxes have been a little disorganized now for some time. So I purchased the Mopar RamBox Cargo Management system. I had it on my previous Ram 1500 and have been meaning to pick it up for some time now. Becuase I use my Ram Boxes like crazy, it's very useful.
Going, to be honest here though. I really feel like this should be standard, or included from RAM when you buy a truck with the RamBox option. I don't understand how it's a dealer "extra". I can see excluding it from a Tradesman, but I have a Laramie.
Anyways, some pictures:

Also picked up two TEKTON tire gauges. The one I have now is garbage. Why two? Well, I setup my onboard air so that the wife and I can each air up a side of the truck at the same time. This saves time naturally.
